About “Home”

This is a unreleased track from the original version of Kanye West’s The College Dropout album. Due to a leak, the album was reshaped and different tracks were placed on the album to switch it up and make it able to sell more since there was content that wasn’t heard yet on the project. This track, along with a variety of others, were cut from the album and used on various other projects throughout the years, whether his own, or used on a featured guest’s project.

You may or may not notice that the lyrics for Kanye’s verse were eventually “recycled” or re-used for his smash single Homecoming off of his third album “Graduation.”

The whole song’s a metaphor, using a girl called Windy to explore Kanye’s love for Chicago and how he turned his back on it.
